Which brake controller does everyone use?

I'm buying a camper trailer that's about 3,200 lbs. I'm was wondering what type of brake controllers everyone uses? Any pictures would be great to, to see where everyone installed them. Thanks

Prodigy is a popular one among members here. A lot of them bought a spare fuse cover and attached the brake controller to the fuse cover. They would switch fuse covers when the brakeer controller is and isn't in use.

I use a Hensley Arrow TruControl brake controller. I have it attached to the fuse cover. I replace the fuse cover as Uneek mentioned, when I don't have the controller installed.

+1 for the Prodigy. It's actually my uncle's but he hasn't asked for it back yet.

I also tried an Oydessy but it had some bad latent response when I hit the brakes under load. Dialed different levels didn't help either. It was probably a bad unit.

The newer Prodigy models also have newer, easier harnesses for hook up.

What kind of prodigy? Model number?

Does anyone have any pictures?

I don't think it's the exact model number I "borrowed" but I can check later. It's about a year old. The case is similar though:
